How
to get a Social Security Card?
A
Social Security number and card is used by the government to
keep track of earnings and withholdings. The Social Security
withholdings are disbursed to people who have retired or are
disabled
|
| Why
is a Social Security Card important?
It
is needed before you can obtain other things. For
example, you cannot open most checking accounts or
get a credit card without a social security card.
Many organizations and schools use this number to
identify people.
Steps:
- Locate
the Social
Security Office in your area.
- Stop
by your local office to get an application .
- Bring
the application and supporting documents to your
local office.
You
cannot mail the application. Most
importantly, you will need to provide proof of
U.S. citizenship or lawful alien status, which
means bringing your visa or green card.
You will also need a document that proves your
age and who you are.
